A Word from Mr. Lamoureux & Cy Gist Press
"Summer's gone, but a lot goes on
forever"--Leonard Cohen
Cy Gist Press is happy to announce the release of
3 new chapbooks as we bid summer farewell and
stumble into autumn and everything after.
EXERTIONS
by Scott Glassman
(20 pp. Sewn Binding) $6
Scott Glassman's first chapbook offers
simultaneously alien and quotidian glosses on the
perils of existing alone and with others.
Scott's take on the prose poem operates by way of
arpeggios of contrapuntal phrases threatening to
tear the form apart while giving them surprising
rhythmic balance. For ordering and a sample poem

CARACAS NOTEBOOK
by Guillermo Parra
(20 pp. Saddle-Stapled with Linen binding, B&W
photographs) $6
Guillermo Parra's lyric paen to the city and the
dramatically changing face of Venezuela at the
beginning of this century is rife with exile and
nostalgia. These are poems from between--between
languages, cultures, identities and forms.
Sparse, objectivist-inspired poems are mingled
with direct but enigmatic prose reminiscent, to
my mind, of W.G. Sebald. Like Sebald, these
poems are homesick for a point of origin which
may or may not have ever existed. With black and
white photographs of Caracas by Isabel Parra.

FACE TIME
(22 pp. Sewn Binding, B&W photographs, mirrored
cover) $6
What do Paris Hilton, Al Pacino, Hilda Doolittle,
Charlize Theron, Marcello Mastroianni and a
quivering, self-eviscerated blob have in common?
Find out in FACE TIME, an anthology of poets
responding to stills from films. Featuring work
by:
Joe Hall, Craig Perez, Noah Falck, Phil Crippen,

Lucas, Nicole Mauro, Jessica Smith, G.L. Ford,
